Our local #FDroid user-group today was great. Since it's holiday season, we had a bit fewer visitors, but that gave us a chance to have a lot of engaging indepth conversations and hands on experiences about topics like:
* verifying our binaries
* lineage device support
* /e/
* F-Droid configuration
* etc.
This time @metalab was very hospitable. (No jackhammering 
). Our live demos also worked surprisingly well, thanks to #ScreenStream. I'm really looking forward to the next one.

circa 1980. "And we concluded that one excellent way to protect people was to collect less information about them."

🚨 Foreigners crossing certain Chinese borders are being forced to install malware on their Android phones.
"The malware downloads a tourist’s text messages, calendar entries, and phone logs, as well as scans the device for over 70,000 different files." https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/7xgame/at-chinese-border-tourists-forced-to-install-a-text-stealing-piece-of-malware

Did not expect to see @fdroidorg in a presentation by Google, but this guy from Google Play Protect had it in his slides as an example from where they get apks to analyze in order to find malware. #dcberlin19 #droidcon

Hello everyone! #FDroid Vienna Meetup is now on mastodon. 🎉
Should I submit a second talk about #PluggableTransports, the censorship circumvention protocol of #Tor? #pw19
Against all tradition I just submitted a talk to @PrivacyWeek CFP before the deadline. Lets see if they're interested in: "Privacy built in: F-Droid App Store". #pw19 #FDroid

A thread of optimistic science/fiction art.
First up, Bryan Larsen's joyful inspiration: https://www.bryanlarsen.com/gallery/
I've been exploring how to put #PluggableTransports to use on #Android. In this article I explain how #obfs4 can be deployed for mobile apps:

Reminded that the Microsoft ebook store closes next week. The DRM'd books will stop working.
I cannot believe that sentence.
"The books will stop working."
I keep saying it and it sounds worse each time.

not deplatforming nazis is deplatforming everyone else
After 3 years of daily use my phones battery life got painfully short. So I simply ordered a new one and replaced it. No tools required.
Got myself a new cover in the same order and #Fairphone recently shipped a software update for #FairphoneOpen. Feels like a new phone. Perfect daily driver for me. Ethically produced, long lasting, privacy friendly, cheap and easy to repair. 
»Remove the wireless card and fill the ethernet port with glue.« Is it strange that this sounds very relaxing and liberating to me?
